A Portable PA System, For An Outdoor Wedding
Some friends recently asked me to DJ their wedding or more appropriately mp3J and CDJ their wedding. I am eager to do a great job but I had to inform them that the most important thing I needed to do this right was some professional audio equipment. We were going to first need a portable [...]
Still Love CDs, Get A Pioneer CD Player
I have stacks and stacks of CDs and I am simply too sentimental to get rid of them and switch over to an entirely digital file based music listening experience.
